Workers' comp seeks higher tax to cover big liability
Harleton AP report notes the Workers' Compensation Division aims to raise a 10 percent tax on large self insured firms to cover a potential $136.8 million medical liability. The measure, delayed by the Performance Council, faces opposition due to bankruptcy risk for financially troubled firms. The division faces long term deficits over $3 billion and notes self insureds include major employers in steel and other sectors. Weirton Steel example shows bonds covering only part of estimated costs.
